down." It symbolically very properly expresses the disappointment. He did not fare like many others who get to the top without any trouble. The others who were "preferred" to him and got to the top could not begin to do anything of value for "what could a horse do up there?" They were, therefore, in a place where they could not do anything. The disappointment over his failure, was, as he stated, so great that on one occasion he was almost desparing of his future career. In his dream "he thought" that the horse was "killed" but soon he verified with satisfaction that it rose again and galloped away. He therefore could not be subdued. Here apparently commences a new part of the dream which probably corresponds to a different period of his life, if the interpretation of the preceding part be correct. I asked X. to fix his attention on the horse galloping away. He states that for a moment in his dream he saw another but very indistinct horse appearing near the brown one; this, too, dragged the trunk and started to gallop away with the brown one, but it soon became very indistinct and disappeared. As shown also by the late reproduction, this horse seems to be under a special repressing influence and hence important to the dream. X. therefore dragged the log with some one else and this person must have been his wife with whom he is harnessed "in the yoke of matrimony." Together they pull the trunk. In spite of the burden which encumbers his progress he gallops away. This again expresses the thought that he can not be subdued. The galloping horse recalls to X. Welti's painting "Eine Mondnacht" (a moonlight night) which represents galloping horses on a cornice among which one very distinct fiery horse is mounting. In the same picture there is the representation of a married couple lying in bed. The picture of the galloping horse (which at first galloped with another) leads therefore to the very suggestive painting of Welti. Here we get a very unexpected view into the sexual nuance of the dream, whereas we thought we saw only the complex of ambition and future career. The symbol of the horse which until now showed only the side of the hardworking domestic animal now assumes a sexual significance which is specially confirmed by the horse scene on the cornice. There the horse is the symbol of the passionate impulsive desire which without any further discussion can be identified with the sexual
